Beyond this belt, at the crest which
separates the Pacific Slope for the Great
Basin, the air through sut the yesr is
dry, pure, and invip ID ring
the summer months q. uulnid.
ity is much less than In w.Ltor. The
deposition of dew ceases altogether, and
the atmosphere becomes very dry. There
is no decomposition of organic matter,
because there are no summer rains. As
q result, the atmosphere is so pure and
free from organic germs, that meat ex-
posed to the air cures or Jerks" but
does Eot putrify. In the Colorado
Desert, and even in the high mesa lands
west of the divide, culture fluids such
as are used in cultivating bacteria, if
properly sterilized, often eyaporats with
out breaking down." 1t must be borne
in mind, however. that this condition,
although prevalent one, is hy no
means universal. There are many days
during the rainy season when the atmos-
phere is damp, chilly, and depressing.
There may also be occasional localities
where on account of excessive irrigation
and imperfect drainage, ETC., the atmos-
phere is liable to be unwholesome, and
malaria diseases might prevail. Damp
and chilly days, however, are rare even
in winter.
The prevailing winds of this region
are generally called "trade Winds" This
name may answer for want of better
one, but, as matter OF fact, the upper
and prevailing currents Of air have more
the nature of monsoons than of trade
winds. During the winter months the
prevailing winds are from the south and
southwest; during the summer months
from the north and northwest. As a
general thing local winds assert them
selves all over this part of the State, and
in fact, throughout the Pacific Coast.
Thus along the coast the land and sea
breezes are nearly always to be found.
They are very noticeable at Santa Bar
bara, Santa Monica and San Pedro, per.
haps less so at San Diego. During very
hot days in the interior, stiff sea
breeze all along the coast blows inland
to replace the rising current of hot air.
As result, there is not only cool wealth
er along the coast, but the temperature
of the inland belt is considerably modi.
fed. This is shown in comparing the
temperature of the region west of the
great divide with that east of it. In the
former the temperature rarely reaches
90' Fahrenheit, while in the latter it fire.
quently ranges from lis to l2j' for days
at time.
Another health giving. but extremely
disagreeable wind. is the "Santa Ana,
or ''norther." This is hot and very
dry wind, usually confined to limited
localities few miles inland. but occa-
sionally sweeping over broad belt of
country. During the progress of this
wind the air is highly electrified.
TEMPERATURE.
The following table shows the mean
temperature Of the principal localities Of
Southern California for period cover

no material difference had the period

whose authority u az good as any,
adopts the following method of setting

any thickness desirable; plant it care
f1ily in rich soil, well manursd, leaving
bat few inches above soil, cut tine ex-
posed end s9usrely. split it cross-wise
carefully ami insert small pebble in the
center. When well rooted, transplant.
The General szys the olive grows very
readily in SOaOma valley, requiring NO
protection of special care, producing
fruit at from five to SIX years old He
advises the planting of suckers as the
most readily grown and matured. I e

estim@tei at from 5000 By The con-
seFvstive guesser. up to IS. 600 by the
ssnguine- These figures and the cbarac-
ter Of the diseases causing the casualties,
show satisfactorily thztthe is no part of
the world where people are 60 free from
diseases zs this c5unty, and that If there
are any deaths at all recorded in this
fsyorite region Is largely ascribed to the
fact that everybody must die.
The statistics of births are by
no means satisfactory; this being
due to the incomplsteness of the
statutes regulating birth re-
turns. Some physicians and mid
wifes, though they are exceptions,
do not report accessions to the popula-
tion in the manner prescribed by law,
because there is no punishment to en-
force the proper observation of the
statute. Thus, during the period en-
braeed in the foregoing mortality report
only 43S births were reported, when
the number was at the very least one
third larger. The Health Officer thinks
that proper figures might easily be OBJ
tanned, but he has not shown in his re.
port the way to this satisfactorily result,
and 1t may here be stated that his en-.
deavors to achieve such a desideratum
have been Of the weakest during his
term Of Office, and If the real number
Of births in Los Angeles during the year

have chiefly to thank him fSrit.

Average
Rainfall
= e--I--

In general the rainfall of the western
part Of Southern California is sufficient
to produce as much as the soil will stand
without swearing out" This 'On the
average will hold good six years in seven.
In the eastern region, wherever water
can be obtained for irrigation, vegetation
grows with wonderful luxuriance, as
NAV be seen in the case of the railway
station at Indio, in the Colorado desert.
Without artificial irrigation, scarcely
anything beyond few species OF cactus
and agave will grow.
I From the preceding it will be seen
Ehat the habitable portions of Southern
,California receive but q trife less of
<rah than the lower Sacramento Valley,
s5nnd considerably more than the San
Joaquin Valley.
A more important factor than the
rainfall, is the relative humidity of the
air. This is q matter somewhat difficult
to present, as the atmosphere may be
extremely "moist' one day, and very
'sdry" on another, and yet in both cases
contain exactly the same amount Of
aqueous vapor. The cause, it is hardly
necessary to state, is due to difference
in temperature. In the one case the air.
because of its low temperature, contains
nearly or quite all the vapor it can pos
sibly hold. In the second case, while
the air may contain the same amount
or even more Of moisture, the air seems
dry, because its high temperature en-
ables it to hold three or four times as
much vapor as it appears to contain.
/ In Southern California the seasons Of
Ndry air and moist air are well marked.
aside from these there are belts OF
ycountry especially liable to heavy fogs.
4 From the time of the first rains, the
,Ibelt Of country neH to the coast is
'elathed in an atmosphere which is tolera-
\ py moist. Alta distance of few miles
utbIani the relative humidity Increases
ooas because there is more moisture but
the temperature is apt to range
